Waltz Of The Lovers Joined Forever
by
Dakini
on Tue 19 Apr 2005 02:59 PM EDT
Waltz of the Lovers Joined Forever
(IX: From ‘Cancionero Y Romancero De Ausencias’)
They never departed
the garden of embraces.
And round the red rose
of kisses they travelled.
Hurricanes wanted
to part them with rancour.
And sharp axes,
and bony lightning.
They added to a land
of pallid hands.
They measured cliffs
impelled by the wind
between molten mouths.
They delved through shipwrecks
their arms each time
deeper in their bodies.
Persecuted, drowned,
by a great helplessness
of memories and moons,
of November and March,
they saw themselves blown
like inconstant dust:
they saw themselves blown,
but always embracing

Sonnet 27 - William Shakespeare
by
Dakini
on Thu 09 Sep 2004 09:16 PM EDT
| Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed, |
| The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; |
| But then begins a journey in my head, |
| To work my mind, when body's work's expired: |
| For then my thoughts, from far where I abide, |
| Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, |
| And keep my drooping eyelids open wide, |
| Looking on darkness which the blind do see |
| Save that my soul's imaginary sight |
| Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, |
| Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, |
| Makes black night beauteous and her old face new. |
| Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, |
|
For thee and for myself no quiet find. |
